Gantry

Gantry is a retractable scaffolding, capable of reaching across rocket modules which would otherwise be inaccessible. Gantries are thus necessary for Duplicants to reach the Command Capsule and Sight-Seeing Module, as well as the Solid Fuel Thruster or Solid Oxidizer Tank, which are filled with items and have no shipping intakes.

The gantry should be built 1 tile away from the rocket, otherwise the rocket will damage it on launch and landing, even when it is retracted.

Tips

 * Gantries shall be retracted during rocket launch and landing, otherwise they will be damaged.
 * Although gantry consumes 1200 W of energy, it does so only for about 1.6 seconds while it is expanding or retracting. It is possible to use a single Conductive Wire for all of them by delaying their movements by 1.7 seconds via BUFFER Gates and FILTER Gates.
 * Jet Suits can be used as an alternative to Gantry, but only for entering the Command Capsule. Gantry is required to exit.
 * Auto-Sweepers can be used as an alternative for solid fuel and oxidizer insertion, although those might require heat-resistant materials.
